I have 2 cars IB the vessel, any news?

No News yet,I also have a 2016 GLE350 that was picked up from Baltimore 4 days before the incident.

Fire erupted on board of ro-ro cargo ship GRANDE COSTA D AVORIO at Newark, USA, in the evening Jul 5, during cargo offload. Fire is understood to be major, 2 NJ firefighters died in fire, the ship as of 1230 UTC Jul 6, is surrounded by tugs from seaside, many land fire engines and firefighters deployed. The ship arrived at Newark in the morning Jul 5, from Baltimore, with 1200 vehicles and ro-ro units, and 120 containers. It is said, that there are no EV on board. Well, probably. As can be seen on video, fire, at least 1 spot, is on cargo deck loaded with cars.

The bolded is the affected vessel. Does your tracking info say it was loaded on this vessel?

Suggestion : ask your freight forwarder to check the "on terminal" list at Baltimore and Newark ..... If its still showing "on ground" you may be OK.
Until Grimaldi issues an actual listing of the whereabouts of each vessel - nothing is certain though.

If you are looking to ship new Ro / Ro's off the East Coast contact us .... If you have questions about your shipment that may have been on the "ill fated" vessel - CALL THE SHIPPER YOU USED / YOUR SHIPPER.

container work is still proceeding SMOOTHLY

Call us if you need a quote ... we only load containers out of our warehouse in Northern NJ USA

** that way we know that the fuel is properly drained and batteries properly disconnected and capped. **

Have you heard something now? I had a car on the ship that got damaged from the fire. My shipping agent is not responsive
